NYSE enters on-chain securities trading—The era of stablecoin settlement may accelerate

Abstract generation in progress

【BlockBeats】On January 20th, a major news spread in the trading circle: The New York Stock Exchange is developing a blockchain-based tokenized securities platform. What does this mean? In simple terms, in the future, US stocks may support 24/7 trading, T+0 instant settlement will no longer be a dream, and stablecoins will become the main medium for capital flow.

From a technical perspective, the NYSE is unlikely to rely on a single public chain, but will adopt a hybrid model of “self-built compliant chain + multi-chain interoperability”—ensuring regulatory friendliness while maintaining liquidity within the DeFi ecosystem. If this plan is ultimately approved, the market’s chain reaction will be significant: the application channels for stablecoins will be greatly expanded, and sectors such as on-chain asset custody, tokenization infrastructure, and DEX liquidity services are expected to benefit.

For traders, this also opens up new possibilities—using USDT to directly participate in US stocks, Hong Kong stocks, and even options and futures trading, no longer constrained by traditional T+1 or time restrictions. This reflects the broader trend of accelerated integration between traditional finance and the crypto market.

The NYSE's recent moves are really heating up, with stablecoins taking the main stage directly --- T+0 settlement? They're just making empty promises here, real implementation is still a long way off --- In my opinion, this is the beginning of traditional finance being forced to bow down --- USDT participating in US stock options... just thinking about it is exciting, but can it pass regulatory scrutiny? --- The compliance chain stuff sounds like a compromise plan; if performance lags, who’s responsible? --- Wait, does this mean our stablecoins finally have a place to shine? --- Definitely good news for USDT and USDC, other tokens shouldn’t even try to ride the coattails --- 24-hour trading in US stocks? This directly breaks the existing financial ecosystem --- With such big moves from the NYSE, is HKEX still sleeping? --- DeFi ecosystem liquidity is about to take off, and now the wealthy are really going all-in on the chain

New York Stock Exchange entering the game? Alright, stablecoins are about to take off Wait, can it really settle T+0? Or is it just hype again This time feels a bit different, big institutions are serious USDT directly trading US stocks... Speaking of which, who would believe that? How will they pass the regulatory hurdles But on-chain settlement is definitely something to watch out for

The NYSE is really here, stablecoins are about to take off --- If this really unfolds, can USDT directly buy US stocks? It's a bit outrageous but it doesn't feel far off --- Building a compliant chain independently is a very clever move, both for money and reputation --- T+0 settlement? Oh my, this is almost a dream for retail investors like us --- But honestly, when this will actually go live still depends, we've been waiting so long --- 24-hour trading of US stocks, liquidity in Hong Kong stocks is picking up, it feels like on-chain finance is really breaking out --- Wait, if this happens, won't the stablecoin ecosystem need to be completely reconstructed --- Once approved, DEX and these small players might really start to make a splash

The NYSE's move is truly brilliant; T+0 settlement directly breaks through the dimensional barrier of traditional finance. This might really be the moment when stablecoins take off.
